HOLLAND


 The Holland house will probably be closed this winter, MT. Ives, the landlord, returning to Meriden. The many friends of himself and family regret to lose them and their society.
 The affair of MT. Hicks has been the olmost universal subject of conversation whenever two or three have met, and all regret that so capable young man should have yielded to the temptation. The mother and sisters have the sympathy oi all. R. H. H.Agard is having his house paint ed by A. J. Mc0ornick.
 Miss M. J. Eathrop starts for Oberlin, Kansas, in few days to join her brother, John o., who went last spring. She will be accompanied by Mrs. Egbert Tilden of Ellington. We wish them bon voyage.

PEOPLE DEMAND PROTECTION
PATENT MEDICINES.

What are they? AS a general
thing they are prescriptions having
been used with great success by old
and well-read Physicians. Thous-
ands Of invalids have been unexpect-
edly cured by their use, and they
are the wonder and dread of Physi
clans and Medical Colleges in the
U. S., so much so, that Physicians
graduating at Medical Colleges are
required to discountenance Proprie
tary Medicines, as through them the
country doctor loses his most profit
able practice. AS q manufacturer
of Proprietary Medicines, DR.. G. G.
Green of Woodbury., n. j., advocates
most cordialy,-in order to prevent
the risk that the sick and afflicted
are liable to, almost daily by the use
of Patent Medicines put out by in
experienced persons for aggrandize-
ment only, and the employing of in
experienced and incompetent doc
tors by which almost every village
and town is cursed; and men claim
ING to be doctors who had better be
undertakers, experimenting with
their patients and robbing them of
their money and health,-for the
good of the afflicted that our govern
ment protect its people by making
laws to regulate the practice of med
icine by better experienced and more
thoroughly educated Physicians and
thereby keep up the honor and cred
it of the profession, also form laws
for the recording of recipes Of Pro
prietary Medicines, under eXamina-
tion and decision Of experienced
Chemists and Physicians appointed
for that purpose by the Government,
before they are licensed for general
use. He would most freely place
the recipe of Boschee's German Syr.
up and Green's August Flower I'M
der such laws, had he the proper
protection, and thereby save the the
prejudice of the people, and avoid
the competition and imitation of
worthless medicines.-CODted from

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder
ed livery is misery. Indigestion is
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus
is one of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry,
late hours, irregular habit, and
many other things which ought not
to be, have made the American peo-
pie nation of dyspeptics.
But &reen's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meats and be
happy.
Remember.-No happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
to the dyspeptic. Ask your drug
gist for q bottle. Seventy-five cts.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival Of trade at
Geo. +. Lights drug store as their
giving away To their customers ofso
many free trial bottles of DIR. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption.
Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article from tine
fact that iJ always cures and never
disappoiuts. Coughs, Cold Asth-
ma, Bronchitis, Group, and all throat
and lung diseases quickly cured.
You can test it before buying by

Sells Brothers Show.

Indianapolis Sentinel, Sept. 2nd.
A street parade that surpassed
expectations, and weather suited
to the enjoyment of circus festivities,
aided materially in attracting about
5000 people to the performance given
by Sells Brothers Show. on the
grounds west of White river, yester
day afternoon. Every seat under
the immense tent was occupied, and
last night, when fully 10000 per-
sons passed into the entrance, the
crowd was greater than could well
be accommodated. A thousand or
more were unable TO get inside the
ropes protecting the seats from the
race-track, and those who were will
ling to endure some discomfort for
the sake of seeing the performance
were allowed to sit on the ground, at
the risk of being run over while the
hippodrome races were in progress.
1t was a great show day. The crowd
looked like a State fair gathering
under canvass. Whole families and
a great many of them were there.
They ate pea nuts and drank lemon
ade with great relish, and the young
men who sold plam-leaf fans as life
preservers, had a greater market
than they were prepared to supply.
The performance was up to the stand
ard known among show going peo-
pie as "a good circus" A number
of the best performers in the pro-
fession appeared in the two rings,
and gave all that one desires in see
in the line of diflicults and daring
feals. The riding of young Will
liam Sells is especially remarkable.
The trained animals and the Wild
West show are equal to other ex-
hibitions in that line that have been
seen here. The races. however,
form the conspicuous feature of
unusual merit in the show. They
are really exciting and are given
with much spirit.
This excellent and well known
circus expects to visit this place
shortly.

Morgan's Grove.

Notwithstanding the heavy rain
Monday night and the gloomy out
look Tuesday morning, a large crowd
of persons assembled at Morgan
Grove to witness the opening of the
third annual agricultural exhibit
ton. The entries OF horses, colts,
hogs and cattle of all kinds were
more numerous than last year, and
very fine. A large amount of ma
chinery of every description, ladies'
handiwork, mechanics ware, organs,
pianos, fruits, vegetables, DC, is on
exhibition. Senator c. j. Faulkner
delivered an excellent address,
Balto. Sun.
On Wednesday the number of
people present was estimated at
1000. Many fine horses and cattle
were on exhibition and also fine
display of fruits and vegetables.
After dinner a beautiful gold mount
ed whip was presented to Miss Lucy
Taylor who richly merited it in the
equestrienne contest of the day.
She had seven competitors. Mr.. j.
o. Aglionby In felicitous address
made the presentation on behalf of
the Society.
Senator Kenna and Col. H. Kyd
Douglass delivered excellent speech
es in the evening.
Thursday, the last day, was most
ly taken up in awarding premiums,
base ball, a speech by Congressman
Wilson, and the baby show. We
have not yet learned the desposi-
tions of the premiums but will give
them in next issue.

Brace Up.

You are feeling depressed, your
appetite bad, you are bothered with
headache, you are fidgetty, nervous,
and generally out of sorts, and want
to brace up. Brase up, but not with
stimulants, spring medicines or bit
tiers, which have for their basis very
cheap, bad whisky, and which stimu
late you for an hour and then leave
YOU in worse condition than before.

of murder, at least in intention, looks
like "throwing water on a drowned
rat" as the Irishman says.
We have an Invitation from the
Grand Army Post of this place to
attend camp fire and reunion of
veterans ut the battlefield of Antei-
tam on the 18th, 10th and 18th days
Of this month-the latter date being
the anniversary of the terrible con-
fiict that took place there in 1862.
We believe that ex-Confederates are
invited to partake, and indeed If we
know anything of that battle, there
is little cause for either side to cele-
brate A VICTORY there while both can
well feel proud of the splendid fight
ing on that occasion. 1t is not be-
cause of our having participated in
that or any other battle that we are
invited. "The pen is mightier than
the sword" at least In OUR hand, and
that is not saying much for our pen
either. We would much prefer, any
day, hearing descriptions of battles
to seeing them for ourselves, but,
while disclaiming the least preten-
sion to heroism in our own person,
we dearly love the company OF war
worn veteran who
"TALKs OF his wounds and deeds OF sor-
row done,
Shoulders his crutch and shows how
fields were Won"
We beg pardon of the shade of
Goldsmith for substituting stalks
of for sweeps o'er," and we believe
there is not a sturdy old soldier who
will not think that the change is an
improvement on our immortal coun-
tryman.
Here we come to an abrupt pause,
like the blackbird Of the British
Islands that MARBLES a few pleasant
notes and breaks off provokingly as
soon as he has gained your atten-
ton. No doubt he, too, has task
master who limits him to certain
number of bars, and perhaps the
poor bird in no way merits the cen
sures heaped upon him by disap-
pointed listeners. 1t is more than
probable that your readers are
THANKFUL Tor the restrictions YOU
put on us, but, if there be any one
to whom our strain is agreeable, we
want him 10 know where the blame
ofsour sudden failure belongs.

of the Farmers Stock and Agricul-

Grove, this county on Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. The
weather was most suspicious and
the attendance both days very large.
The remarkable success with which
this Society has been attended, when
we consider that there is no actual
organization, is truly wonderful
and the secret, we think, is that it is
no money-making scheme, being de
voted simply to the advancement Of
the social and agricultural interest
of the county, The special feature
ofthe opening day, was the address
